Content of the training

The Bachelor's program in Sensors & Smart Systems, part of the Electrical Engineering program, focuses on designing, building, and programming smart systems with sensors. You'll learn how to use technology to make environments, products, and processes smarter, from healthcare and sports to (sustainable) energy and industry. You'll develop knowledge in areas such as robotics, programming, control engineering, and data communication, and work on practical, field-based assignments from the outset.

Form of the training (program)

The program is small-scale and personalized. You'll work extensively in small, motivated groups and receive guidance from instructors who know you well. A mentor will support you in your professional and personal development. Because the program was developed in collaboration with the business community, you'll regularly work on real-world projects at organizations like the Energy Academy Europe and ENTRANCE. You'll also have the opportunity to partially customize your studies through electives and project choices.
